Conor McGregor And Nate Diaz Hurl Water Bottles At Each Other During UFC 202 News Conference

Trending News: Diaz And McGregor's Pre-UFC 202 Presser Got Way Out Of Hand

Why Is This Important?

Long Story Short

The UFC 202 news conference got out of hand when main card competitors Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor started chucking water bottles at each other.

Long Story

Let's do a little math equation here. What happens when you pit two of the UFC's biggest trash talkers in the Octagon against each other and then delay their rematch by over a month? What do you get? Well, you get two extremely pissed off mix martial arts fighters who want to absolutely rip the other apart.

And that pent up frustration boiled over on Wednesday when Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz were doing a news conference at MGM Grand ahead of Saturday's UFC 202.

While McGregor was at the podium taking questions — after arriving 30 minutes late no less — Diaz stormed off the stage and started talking sh** from across the room. Then, Diaz started hurling whatever he could get his hands on, including water bottles and a big roll of black masking tape, which hit McGregor's girlfriend on the arm, according to The Los Angeles Times.

Despite protests from UFC CEO Dana White, McGregor quickly got up and chucked a few bottles back at Diaz. It was chaos. Take a look:

McGregor and Diaz were supposed to fight back at UFC 200 on July 9, but McGregor was punished by White for being bad at PR and somewhere in there the Irishman retired. He's back now and we have Saturday's main card, which is a welterweight rematch after Diaz shocked the world by getting McGregor to tap out at UFC 196.
